| Location: It was located 3 km north of the Lalusagi Village; northeast of the Pulur/Sakyol Village; northwest of the Elazig Province. It was completely flooded by the Keban Dam. The mound was situated between the Çemisgezek motorway and the Tahar/Tagar Stream; 190 m east of the motorway. It was named after the nearest village (Yeniköy); a seasonal village for nomads. |
| Geography and Environment: H.Z. Kosay who excavated the mound; reports that the mound is also known as Hugu/Gavur Höyük. It is a small and flat mound measuring 14 m in height and ca. 200x150 m in dimensions. It was on the foothill of a natural hill called Kesisin Tümü. Remains of the Roman and Early Byzantine Periods were reported. It is noted that probably there is a natural elevation underneath. |
